I said don't do it babe   Said it ain't worth it babe   But you did it anyway   Four or five drinks and you were on your way      September 1st, 2003   It took the life right out of me   Hung up the phone and raced out the door   Broken      I tried to believe that it wasn't true   But in my heart I always knew   That being the life of the party would catch up to you      Your family was waiting and crying   For three damn hours      I said don't do it babe   Said it ain't worth it babe   But you did it anyway   Four or five drinks and you were on your way      Everything's cool on the straight away   But you took that turn   Doing eighty-five in a thirty-five   Why babe?      Every time I'm home, I pass that road   Driving alone and the street feels cold   Seeing your face, yeah, it's haunting me      My mind goes crazy tryin' to figure out   Just where you'd be four years from now   And what you were thinking when the lights came down      The doctors were trying to save you   For three damn hours      I said don't do it babe   Said it ain't worth it babe   But you did it anyway   Four or five drinks and you were on your way      Everything's cool on the straight away   But you took that turn   Doing eighty-five in a thirty-five   Why babe?      Whoever said that life was fair   When you live without a care   When you're invincible, when you're invincible   When you're invincible who thinks about leaving when you're livin'      I said don't do it babe   Said it ain't worth it babe   But you did it anyway   Four or five drinks and you were on your way      Everything's cool on the straight away   But you took that turn   Doing eighty-five in a thirty-five      I said don't do it babe   Said it ain't worth it babe   But you did it anyway   Four or five drinks and you were on your way
